Agamemnon is an online RPG game set in medieval England. Online RPG games have been a large part of the online games spectrum since even before the internet. It is accurate to say that the genre began with text adventure games, often dungeons and dragons environments. More commonly known as D+D RPG. The designers grew up with the dungeons and dragons environment, yet at the heart of Agamemnon is more than just more monsters and treasure chests.

Medieval England has not had justice done to it so here you will find an online RPG game that pays attention to this gap. Online RPG games were mostly hack and slash graphical games with virtually no atmosphere or care for the RPG potential. Instead online RPG games fell to the simple cliches and badly botched together period worlds of very little imaginative grasp. You should consider Agamemnon as an online RPG game which seeks to bring a world which is not about a money making scheme that draws profits from the imaginative wanderings of teenagers, but a labour of love. An on ongoing story with locations as real as any historion would attest to, all the cliches regenerated from the grave-yard of commercialism and made into the mythological ramblings of somone who knows the genre and can evoke it to others

At the heart of all online RPG games is the question 'what is roleplaying?'. Simply put, it does not matter how well medieval England is described, nor how well the mechanics of the game allows players to feel like a Knight, or a Duke or any other well known role, but how well the players play their RPG games. What the creators of Agamemnon have attempted to do is design a land where each player may change the shape of England, with his or her personality and wits. The true RPG environment does not attribute points or praise clever button pushing, but it nurtures those who allow themselves to slip into roleplaying. In essence, there is no destinction between in and out of role: all RPG games are about the people who fill the potential for what is designed and made by the creators. In Agamemnon, if you are executed by a nobleman for not covering a puddle with your cloak, or raped by a gang of common bandits for simply being of a rich family and verluptious body, you cannot slip out of role and yell unfair! Who ever said life in medieval England was supposed to be fair? Who said Agamemnon is an online RPG game. All I said was, it's life.

Agamemnon's stance in the online RPG games genre is strongly placed in the realm of diversity. You share England with other people from around the world. The key to RPG games is interaction. This can take many different forms. More traditionally of late, online RPG games simply meant online player killing games. Essentially hundreds of people will enter a land and kill each others characters. Agamemnon is an ever evolving land and things will continue to happen whether your character is logged in or not. Agamemnon is one of the many online RPG games which does contain player killing. We however have attempted to marry the player killing aspect with actual RPG. You do not have to fight. You may take up a RPG aspect of the game which fits you best, just as you would in real life. You have the freedom to choose like no other. Online RPG games often make strict rules to protect those who do not wish to fight. Agamemnon has taken a differernt approach. We have instead, given the freedom to the players who inhabit the RPG game to make both the laws of the county, and the punishments for breaking those laws. At the time of writing, there is a trial going to court. A highwayman who's true identity was unknown was caught by a group of determined law abiding citizens who had thought themselves powerless. He is expected to be executed within the next few days. The key to preserving the RPG aspect of the game is in the fact that the Highwayman is also not restricted but he knows there can be consequences. Agamemnon caters to people of all experience. There are people who have played online RPG games for years and some who have never played anything of the sort before. The online RPG games of the past were often coded in a restricted way and as such, the RPG aspect was often lost. The trial of the Highwayman, who was by day a nobleman, continues without any interference from the administrators of the game.
